June 7th (Day 158) Bible Reading

1Ki 2:1
Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged
Solomon his son, saying,

1Ki 2:2 I go the
way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;

1Ki 2:3 And keep
the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and
his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in
the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and
whithersoever thou turnest thyself:

1Ki 2:4 That the
LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy
children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their
heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the
throne of Israel.

1Ki 2:5 Moreover
thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he
did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and
unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace,
and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and
in his shoes that were on his feet.

1Ki 2:6 Do
therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the
grave in peace.

1Ki 2:7 But shew
kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those
that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom
thy brother.

1Ki 2:8 And,
behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of
Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to
Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the
LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

1Ki 2:9 Now
therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest
what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the
grave with blood.

1Ki 2:10 So David
slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

1Ki 2:11 And the
days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years
reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

1Ki 2:12 Then sat
Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established
greatly.

1Ki 2:13 And
Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she
said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

1Ki 2:14 He said
moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.

1Ki 2:15 And he
said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set
their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about,
and is become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD.

1Ki 2:16 And now I
ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.

1Ki 2:17 And he
said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee
nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

1Ki 2:18 And
Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.

1Ki 2:19 Bathsheba
therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king
rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne,
and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right
hand.

1Ki 2:20 Then she
said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay.
And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.

1Ki 2:21 And she
said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.

1Ki 2:22 And king
Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the
Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine
elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son
of Zeruiah.

1Ki 2:23 Then king
Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah
have not spoken this word against his own life.

1Ki 2:24 Now
therefore, as the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on
the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised,
Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

1Ki 2:25 And king
Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him
that he died.

1Ki 2:26 And unto
Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields;
for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to
death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and
because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

1Ki 2:27 So
Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might
fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in
Shiloh.

1Ki 2:28 Then
tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not
after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold
on the horns of the altar.

1Ki 2:29 And it
was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and,
behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of
Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.

1Ki 2:30 And
Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the
king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought
the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.

1Ki 2:31 And the
king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that
thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from
the house of my father.

1Ki 2:32 And the
LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more
righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not
knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of
Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

1Ki 2:33 Their
blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his
seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon
his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.

1Ki 2:34 So
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he
was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

1Ki 2:35 And the
king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the
priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.

1Ki 2:36 And the
king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in
Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.

1Ki 2:37 For it
shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook
Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall
be upon thine own head.

1Ki 2:38 And
Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath
said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

1Ki 2:39 And it
came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran
away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying,
Behold, thy servants be in Gath.

1Ki 2:40 And
Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his
servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.

1Ki 2:41 And it
was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come
again.

1Ki 2:42 And the
king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to
swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the
day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die?
and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good.

1Ki 2:43 Why then
hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have
charged thee with?

1Ki 2:44 The king
said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is
privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return
thy wickedness upon thine own head;

1Ki 2:45 And king
Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established
before the LORD for ever.

1Ki 2:46 So the
king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him,
that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.

1Ki 3:1
And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's
daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of
building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem
round about.

1Ki 3:2 Only the
people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the
name of the LORD, until those days.

Act 5:1
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a
possession,

Act 5:2 And kept
back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and
brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

Act 5:3 But Peter
said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and
to keep back part of the price of the land?

Act 5:4 Whiles it
remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own
power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied
unto men, but unto God.

Act 5:5 And
Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came
on all them that heard these things.

Act 5:6 And the
young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

Act 5:7 And it was
about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done,
came in.

Act 5:8 And Peter
answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said,
Yea, for so much.

Act 5:9 Then Peter
said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of
the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at
the door, and shall carry thee out.

Act 5:10 Then fell
she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men
came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her
by her husband.

Act 5:11 And great
fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

Act 5:12 And by
the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people;
(and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

Act 5:13 And of
the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

Act 5:14 And
believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

Act 5:15 Insomuch
that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds
and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow
some of them.

Act 5:16 There
came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem,
bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they
were healed every one.

Act 5:17 Then the
high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the
Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,

Act 5:18 And laid
their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

Act 5:19 But the
angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and
said,

Act 5:20 Go, stand
and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

Act 5:21 And when
they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and
taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the
council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the
prison to have them brought.

Act 5:22 But when
the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,

Act 5:23 Saying,
The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing
without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.

Act 5:24 Now when
the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these
things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.

Act 5:25 Then came
one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing
in the temple, and teaching the people.

Act 5:26 Then went
the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they
feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

Act 5:27 And when
they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high
priest asked them,

Act 5:28 Saying,
Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and,
behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this
man's blood upon us.

Act 5:29 Then
Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God
rather than men.

Act 5:30 The God
of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

Act 5:31 Him hath
God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to
give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

Act 5:32 And we
are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom
God hath given to them that obey him.

Act 5:33 When they
heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay
them.

Act 5:34 Then
stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the
law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles
forth a little space;

Act 5:35 And said
unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as
touching these men.

Act 5:36 For
before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a
number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all,
as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.

Act 5:37 After
this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much
people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him,
were dispersed.

Act 5:38 And now I
say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel
or this work be of men, it will come to nought:

Act 5:39 But if it
be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against
God.

Act 5:40 And to
him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them,
they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them
go.

Act 5:41 And they
departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted
worthy to suffer shame for his name.

Act 5:42 And daily
in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus
Christ.

Psa 125:1
A Song of degrees. They
that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be
removed, but abideth for ever.

Psa 125:2 As the
mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about
his people from henceforth even for ever.

Psa 125:3 For the
rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the
righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

Psa 125:4 Do good,
O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in
their hearts.

Psa 125:5 As for
such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with
the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

Pro 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man,
but the end thereof
